Quotes by Peter Galison (?)

“He acknowledged, for example, the commonplace that miners upstream of an explosion in the air supply are usually burned, while those downstream are asphyxiated. In the Magny disaster, all the deceased suffered burns, so it was logical to think that the explosion had occurred down the airstream from the last man,”
― Peter Galison, Einstein's Clocks and Poincare's Maps: Empires of Time
